Description
This module aims to give the student the necessary skills to apply Lean tools and techniques in a workplace environment .
Lean focuses on identifying and eliminating waste (non-value added activities) through the entire process. In this course, students will learn Lean concepts such as value stream mapping, standardisation of work, error-proofing, visual signals and pull systems.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Describe the benefits of applying "Lean Management" techniques in a manufacturing or service environment
2.
Identify the seven forms of waste in a production process
3.
Map out the steps necessary when implementing or helping others implement a Lean Management program
4.
Construct a Current and Future Value Stream map with associated material and information flows
5.
Implement a Lean 5S program
6.
Describe the key elements of a TPM program
7.
Describe and Perform an SMED analysis
8.
Design a solution to a Poka-Yoke type problem
9.
Identify and Calculate a set of appropriate metrics for a lean process.
10.
Describe the principles underlying the Theory of Constraints (TOC)
11.
Implement a Lean Visualisation Program
12.
Prepare a Kaizen even
